Timing of Intervention and Long-Term Outcomes in Mild Congenital Heart Disease: A 35-Year Study From the Pediatric Cardiac Care Consortium
Long-term survival after intervention for mild congenital heart disease is excellent; yet lesion-specific risks persist for decades. Age and weight-for-age at intervention are associated with survival, together with excess mortality beyond childhood underscore the need for lifelong, lesion-tailored surveillance in this growing population.
